Day 9 – P90X Plyometrics

So happy to see you again. Wishing you more happy health!

P90X Plyometrics – “Do your best – Forget the rest!” You jump, you spin, you squat, you twist, you bounce, you REPEAT! It is intense. If you put your all into it, you will gasp for air, your muscles will burn and you will really appreciate the water breaks throughout the workout!

That is the gist of Plyometrics friends. So, what does Plyometrics mean? According to Wikipedia, Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in a specific sport. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, run faster, throw farther, or hit harder, depending on the desired training goal. Plyometrics is used to increase the speed or force of muscular contractions, often with the goal of increasing the height of a jump. Plyometrics is hard. Okay, so I added that last sentence.

I happen to enjoy the Plyometrics workout. I wasn’t much of an athlete growing up, except for some volleyball, and my USAF military experience was a long time ago, so these types of exercises make me feel like I could go out on a basketball or volleyball court and not completely embarrass myself. At 42, I feel like I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago! It’s not just the Beachbody fitness programs that I’ve done (Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme) that make me feel this way. It is the consistent use of the nutritional supplements and support products like ActiVit® Metabolism Formula, Core Cal-Mag™, Core Omega-3™, Shakeology®, and P90X Results and Recovery Formula that fuel my body as well as a diet relatively free of junk food, sugary sodas, fat and alcohol. I’ll be honest, I still have a thing for Diet Coke, Margarita’s and coffee. While I’m on P90X I have vowed to not drink any alcohol (except when we go to Cancun later this month) and I have reduced both my diet soda and coffee consumption to almost nothing. That is saying a lot coming from a person who was in the coffee industry for 16 years! I have been drinking more green tea and a lot of water instead.

I know that committing to a 90 day fitness program is a little scary. Doing anything consistently for 90 days is a little intimidating for anyone, including me, but I feel that 90 days is nothing when I look at the big picture of my life. Ninety days is a drop in the bucket and will be here and gone before I realize it. Now, if I get up everyday and moan and groan about HAVING to do the fitness program – it’s going to be a loooong 90 days. I have a choice every morning about how I’m going to take on my day. I chose to be positive and proud for doing something for myself – for my health – to improve the quality of my life today and in the future. If I don’t do it now, it will only be harder later. If not now, when? For most people it is later or never. I hope you chose NOW over later or never. You can do anything you set your mind to.
